Critical values for t (two-tailed) Use these for the calculation of confidence intervals.

For
example, use the 0.05 column for the 95% confidence interval.

The number at the beginning of each row in the table above is which has been defined
above as n 1. The percentage along the top is 100%(1 ). The numbers in the main body
of the table are t,. If a quantity T is distributed as a Student's t distribution with degrees of
freedom, then there is a probability 1 that T will be less than t,.(Calculated as for a onetailed or one-sided test as opposed to a two-tailed test.)

Definition (undergraduate level)

The n column gives the number of degrees of freedom. t-values are in the body of the table (find
the first t-value smaller than your measured t-value); the probability can be read off at the top of the
table. A probability of less than 0.05 is normally considered significant.
